The advantage of taxiway Zulu (when it opens) is that it will obviate the need for additional runway backtracking following deicing. The STOP/DEICE markings as depicted on the AIP chart indicate the deicing pad can be accessed from either direction. This allows the option of entering the pad from the NW via Zulu and Bravo then proceeding to RW05 via Charlie. Of course runway backtracking is hardly an issue at present with the low current movement levels, but could become so in the future.
